Dera Rahul,
There is option in Schedule Line itself that u can give firming period and in that period schedule lines r firmed. Go to ME32L
enter ur SchedulingAgreement Then select ur material and click on Additional Data (Shift+F5). There under Scheduling Control 'Firm Zone' field is there, try with this option and see what i sresult.

Firming the Schedule Lines in Sch.Agreement

Hi , I have done the following to firm the schedule lines in Scheduling agreement.
1. Firm Zone as 30 days
2.Tradeoff zone days as 60 days
3.Binding MRP indicator as NULL(Lines not changeable within Zones)
4.In OMIN , Firm Schedule lines enabled for the MRP group
When i run the MRP, schedule lines are getting created with Firm Indicator (*) for the requirements lying within these zones. After transmitting the schedule lines to vendor , if i change the requirement again, the schedule lines within Firm Zone are getting adjusted as per the new requirment. I dont know whats the purpose behind maintaining these Firm Zone and Trade off Zone.
Pointers are much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Milton Isaac

Hi,
Rolling delivery schedules issued under scheduling agreements are divided into different time zones indicating the degree to which lines of the schedule are binding.
Firm zone (zone 1) (go-ahead for production).
The schedule lines within this zone count as firm and thus as fully binding. If you cancel a schedule line that falls within the firm zone, the vendor is entitled to charge you with both production costs and the costs of procuring input materials incurred by him as a result of the cancellation.
Trade-off zone (zone 2) (go-ahead for procurement of input materials)
This is the "semi-firm" zone, giving the vendor the go-ahead to procure necessary input materials for the manufacture of the item ordered. If you cancel a schedule line within this semi-firm zone, the vendor is only entitled to charge you the material costs. Schedule lines falling within this time zone are thus less binding that those falling within the firm zone.

How to change the schedule line date in SO with reference to value contract

Hi SD Guru's,
I need to change the schedule line date in the sales order with reference to the value contract by using some algorithm that i will write. The problem that i can't find the suitable place to add the algorithm. I can't add it to the Copy control because there is no schedule lines in value contract and copy control for schedule lines does no exist.
I can not add to user exit MV45AFZZ , because order that was created with reference to the value contract, does not go through this user exit.
Do you have some ideas where i can add it?
Thanks and Regards
Viky

Hello Viky
How about using program MV45AFZB- USEREXIT_CHECK_VBEP or USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBEPKOM
or program FV45EFZ1- USEREXIT_CHANGE_SALES_ORDER
Does the program go through these exits when an order is created with ref to a value contract??
Also I am wondering why you need to change a Schedule line determined by Availability check and/or delivery scheduling?

Firming the schedule lines from MRP

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I generate the scheule lines from the total planning run for the material with the help of schedule line indiator = 3.
I want these schedule lines should get automatically firmed. Which are the various ways by which I can do this?
Regards,
MHP

Dear
Using MRP Type with Firiming like P1 , P2 etc is the best way to deal with this situation .
However , there is option in Schedule Line itself that u can give firming period and in that period schedule lines r firmed. Go to ME32L enter ur Scheduling Agreement Then select ur material and click on Additional Data (Shift+F5). There under Scheduling Control 'Firm Zone' field is there, try with this option and see what is sresult?
If the date of a schedule line lies within the firm zone, the vendor has the go-ahead to produce the relevant quantity with the assurance that the orderer will bear any and all material and production costs associated with the scheduled quantity in the event of subsequent cancellation by the latter.
1. Another way of handling your issue is by using the manual firming .
2. In mdo4 in the Edit menu u will find a Set firming date.
3. Now you can select this and this will give u a popup for entering a date.
4.When u give a date in this and hit enter.
Also please note delivery schedule lines in ME38 (even it is created automatically), in Planning time fence, will get affected by MRP run.
Hope clear to you.

RE: Firming for Schedule Lines

Hi MM Gurus,
I have posted this question to ERP Manufacturing (PP) forum as I thought this is related to MRP settings.
I am working with MRP creating schedule lines automatically, I need way to have firming indicator for the schedule lines that created out of MRP. I have checked the forums and did some research, all mentioned about the time zones
Firm zone (zone 1) - Firmed
Trade-off zone (zone 2) - Semi Firmed
Planning zone (zone 3) - Forecast
But checking my Scheduling Agreement, ITEM > MORE FUNCTIONS > ADDITIONAL DATA, in the scheduling control portion the FIRM ZONE field and TRADE OFF ZONE field are not modifiable. I have changed SA-->Define document type for SA type to ensure that the indicator for scheduling agreement release documentation is ON. And defined the scheduling control field as optional, but still the FIELDS are grayed out/unmodifiable.
Is there any other configuration change I need to do in order to activate this?
Thanks,
Richard

I think below link clearly explain your scenario have a look at it,

How to delete confirmed schedule lines, without executing the ATP check?

Sales and Distribution: Concerning ATP (product allocation)
Situation:
Step 1: An order is created with priority low. Quantities are confirmed for line items.
Step 2: A second order is created with a higher priority. No confirmed quantities.
Rescheduling program (SDV03V02) is then executed. This selects and sorts the orders in the correct order.
The confirmed quantities for the first (low priority) order should now be freed up, to be able to allocate those quantities to the second (high priority) order.
The problem I am facing is that the confirmed quantities are NOT released.
We cannot use BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE or SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE to delete or modify the schedule lines, because these function modules execute the ATP check again. And when that happens, quantities are again confirmed and assigned.
How can we get rid of the confirmed schedule lines, without executing the ATP check?
Thanks,
Edwin.

Found a solution to the problem:
In the Rescheduling program we export a parameter to the memory, to make it possible to delete schedule lines without executing the ATP check.
Deleting of the schedule lines is done with a BAPI, which will call the ATP check automatically for ATP relevant materials. This we want to stop from happening (only when calling the BAPI).
After the BAPI has been called we FREE the MEMORY ID.
The parameter is imported again in Customer-Exit EXIT_SAPLATPC_001.
Transaction.. SMOD
Enhancement.. ATP00001
Component.... EXIT_SAPLATPC_001,
Include...... ZXATPU01.
The customer exit is used in function AVAILABILITY_CHECK_CONTROLLER, just before calling function 'AVAILABILITY_CHECK'.
Simply refreshing the ATP tables in the customer-exit, will prevent the ATP check from being executed (because we removed the list containing the materials for which the ATP check needs to be done). As a result, the function 'AVAILABILITY_CHECK' will not be processed.

Firming of the schedule lines

Hi,
in MD04 we can see the firm indicator for some of the schedule lines. We aware of that this indicator is set based on the firm zone period and the schedule release date.
Apart from firm zone is there any other parameter makes the schedule line firm ( except manual change) Please clarify.
This is the very urgrent req from business so your immediate repsponse is really appreciated.
Thanks
Raj

Hi
You can firm all schedule lines which are printed or transmitted to vendor by customizing in OMIN for your plant and material group.
Or if you create schedule line manually.

Firming for Schedule Lines

Hi Everyone,
I am working with MRP creating schedule lines automatically, I need way to have firming indicator for the schedule lines that created out of MRP. I have checked the forums and did some research, all mentioned about the time zones

Trade-off zone (zone 2) - Semi Firmed

Thanks in advance,

Hi, In the config SA-->Define document type for your SA type ensure that the indicator for scheduling agreement release documentation is ON.
The fields relevant for the doc.type are specified by the entry in the 'Fleld selection' field. (like LPA or LPL).
Go to Define screen layout at document level.For the Field selection as above choose Scheduling control and double click on the above.
I can only guess that as you are using a customised SA type, the entry is selected as 'Display' for the fields for a custom Field selection again(NOT EQ LPA or LPL).
If yes, you can make it optional or Required.
See if this sorts out your issue.
Although it looks like a ordinary field control change, am not sure what impact inconsistencies/changes like this would bring.
Better to check with MM consultants before making use of the changes.
LP vs LPA: With LP the schedule lines are instantly transferred to vendor. With LPA you have the option to use a creation profile etc to transmit the data in your preferred time bucket at a later stage and then transmit it and not instantly like LP.

How to identify open schedule line item?

Hi,
I have a requirement for identifying open schedule line items. I want to identify any indicator or any field in any table which will tell me that the schedule line item is complete. Can anyone tell me how can I know that?
Ex. Sales Order 1 has 3 materials (line items) in it A, B & C.
For A the quantity is 10 and for which 3 schedule line have been created.
Out of the 3 schedule lines, 1 schedule line item is complete that is the delivery has been done and the rest 2 are open.
For B and C there are 4 & 5 schedule lines created and all are open.
How can i identify that total 12 schedule line 1 is completed and 11 are open.
Please suggest tables, field names / indicators.
Regards,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
You can not identify the open line items directly, rather you have to calculate the delivered quantity and copmare it with the ordered qty for each line item. The ordered qty can be idenitfy from the table VBEP and the deliverd qty can be found out by calling the function RV_SCHEDULE_CHECK_DELIVERIES.
Follow the link for more details to calculate the delvierd qty.

Text in the scheduling lines of a scheduling agreement.

hi,
is it possible to add text some where in the scheduling lines of a scheduling agreement (like how we can insert header text in the line item)??

yes.I agree with you that in all good processes schedules lines are automatically generated by MRP run.
On the other hand,some times due to incontigencies we are forced to manually add the schedule.At that time,my client wants to capture those incontigency reasons which he wants along with the schedule lines.
Please let me know whether SAP has got some way out for this issue.
Thanks.

Is there a way to track the delivered qty at the schedule line level in R3

Hello Gurus,
Is there a way to track the delivered qty at the schedule line level in R3. I spoke to al ot of functional guys on this and the answer is NO. If NO,then, how does the 2LIS_11_V_SSL extractor extract the delivered qty at schedule line level. Help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Simmi

Hi Simmi,
I have used this extractor for the purpose you describe at more than one customer without problem. My understanding is that it links the order schedule line with the delivery, but I haven't tried to work out the mechanism.

Block the Schedule line for Delivery

Hi,
I have a requirement in which I want to block the schedule line in my sales order for delivery.
Also I want that system should not perform the availability check and block the stock on the requested delivery date.
We want the order handler to take a desicion and remove the block, and then the item should be relevant for availability check.
To cover the 1st req of keeping the block, I will use a schedule line cateogry which has a delivery block setup in IMG.
Will setup the schedule line cateogry accordingly.
But I am not sure how to achieve the 2nd req to not to confirm the schedule line qty till the block is there.
Kindly advise.
Regards,
Harsh

Hi Harsh,
2 ways to achieve this,
1- Create new reason for rejection & you can stop the requirements to flow to MD04. ( assumption is, item will be waiting for further activities by the Order handler )
2- Tx: OVB8 & OVB5
check whether you can include your own logic which is applicable only for newly created delivery blocks. This transactions works well for Delivery block "01"- credit block- for not to transfer requirement to MD04.
Hope it may work for you.
